Welcome to Farm Bar, your neighborhood farm-to-table destination in Ravenswood and Lakeview. We bring the best of Midwestern fare to your plate, using ingredients from our own Brown Dog Farm in Wisconsin. Whether you're here for lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch, we’ve got something for everyone.

Enjoy juicy burgers, crispy cheese curds, and fresh seasonal dishes that highlight the bounty of the Midwest, paired with a handcrafted cocktail or a perfectly selected glass of wine.

When the weather’s fine, head upstairs to ARRIBA, our rooftop margarita bar with Latin-inspired snacks and great views.

We're also committed to sustainability with digital menus linked via QR codes at each table.

As of July 1, 2024, The Chicago City Council mandated a steep increase in hourly wages for food service teams. In order to meet this added cost, we've added a voluntary 3% COB fee to our checks. We can remove this fee upon request.

Let’s eat, drink, and connect at Farm Bar and ARRIBA!

    Really bummed because I’ve been wanting to try out this spot and we got a reservation for New Year’s Day! We got sat and the place was maybe 20% full and had LOTs of employees staffed as well. I sat with my 2 friends for almost 25-30 minutes and no staff member came back up to order our drinks and food. We were starving! I worked in the service industry so I get it if your understaff and holiday busy - but this was NOT the case at all. Bummer I couldn’t try the food and might not come back due to how the service was :/

    Hi Nicole, We're really sorry to hear that we totally missed the mark yesterday. This is not how we operate and we would like to have another opportunity to show you what we're all about. I would like to invite you and a guest back to dine with us on me. Please reach out to me at your convenience and I will make a reservation for you. Happy New Year, Bonni

    The food was delicious! We loved the cheese curds, the salmon, the pork ragu, and the potato cake. However, the service was a bit challenging - sporadic, yet rushed. We'll definitely be back for that delicious, indulgent Midwestern fare, though.

    Tim, thank you for the feedback! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our revered cheese curds as well as our seasonal dishes crafted by our ingenious kitchen. Also, thank you for your honesty regarding service. We will take your notes back to our team and understand where we can improve. We hope you'll join us again and enjoy an unhurried, smooth experience. Thank you again for your support. Cheers, The Team at Farmheads

    Our table was quite close to the front door and the draft fr other guests coming and going was disruptive and too cold.

    Carrie, thank you for your honest feedback. Although we're happy to see it looks like you enjoyed the food and service, we are disappointed you ever felt uncomfortable during time at Farm Bar. Please always let one of our team members know if you'd prefer a different table and we will always work to accommodate. Thank you again for your honesty and we hope you'll join us again.

    So glad we went to Farm Bar before a show at Old Town School of Folk Music. The service was very warm and welcoming. The food was all great- we had the cabbage and potato plates to share, both delicious. Our entrees of gnudi and pork chops were so good. Lovely place.
